Gods Be Damned its laughable how many people think its some mythical transformation to play in the 3-4 versus the 4-3. Its a much harder transition for 3-4 OLB than it is for the 3-4 ILB.

Totally agree about the 3-4 OLB. That is why playing the 3-4 gets you into depth issues because the conversion of college DEs to 3-4 OLB is not a for sure thing. As a matter of fact I doubt 50% are truly successful and become game changing players..

Playing Fantasy Football does not qualify you to be the in the front office or on the coaching staff of the Pittsburgh Steelers. They are professionals and you are not!

Dominate the LOS first, and then 'moderate' skill-level players look better. The Steelers don't dominate the LOS at the moment- get that fixed and guys like Larry Foote look pretty darn good. Guys like Jonathon Dwyer get to maximise their skill levels. Dominate the LOS, and we'll be able to run on the opposition, take time off the clck, keep the defence fresh, or take the run away, collapse the pocket, rush the QB with more success.

if Chane Warmack, Jesse Williams or Kawaan Short are available, Chadman would be giving them long looks.

Yes to Chance Warmack. We need to get back to dominating the LOS not watching Ramon Foster getting rag dolled into the backfield by a Bumgals DT.

One LB that is interesting touch adman is Stanford's Chase Thomas- a smart LB that could be a useful 'switch' LB- either an ILB or OLB, depending on need. Right now, the Steelers don't know what they have in OLB Worilds or ILB Spence. Adding a guy like Thomas covers both spots.

it never ends with you and foster. Its always this guys fault.

never mind him being out of position and the other two interior OL getting manhandled as well.

lets say we draft another OG in the 1st round and by some miracle they all turn into the probowlers you seem to think we need at every position along the OL. What then when their contracts come up? Tie up 25 million dollars into three spots in the middle of the field in a league where everything is going to more spread formations?
